Alexandra Lions Club president Russell Thornton (centre) congratulates Central Otago fire brigade representatives (from left) Ian Rietveld (Omakau), Russell Anderson (Alexandra), Ian Galloway (Wanaka) and Steve Shaw (Cromwell) on receiving a combined $10,000 donation from the proceeds of this year's Alexandra Lions Great Easter Bunny Hunt.
A Lions spokesman said the policy of the club was to give the proceeds of the Easter event ``back to the communities where the hunters worked''. The four brigades, which all have First Response units, received $2500 each from the Lions club.
